On Wednesday evening The Apple Tree Restaurant at Brimsmore Gardens was a hive of foodie activity with many of our local food producers and small businesses attending our networking event. The free event got off to a great start, everyone got stuck in to the tasters from The Apple Tree restaurant kitchen, while sharing tips advice and even samples of their own products. We were lucky enough to have three experts along to share up-to-date industry information. Jay Capel from Trading Standards Devon & Somerset County Council updated everyone on labelling laws, Paula Deacon from G-Free talked about the gluten free market and Andy from Porcupine PR gave an up to the minute account of social media for small brands.

It was a fantastic event, the food was delicious and we were thrilled with all the positive comments we had. Here’s to the next one!
